Three More Updates on the Neverending Election Saga

We’re going to cover three pieces of news, all related to that election that happened three months ago, and yet are newly relevant:

·         There was a cabal that successfully affected the election.

·         The proof of voter fraud, both of the traditional corrupt type and the newer corrupt digital type, is now available.

·         Courts are finally beginning to consider the evidence in voter fraud lawsuits, and a 2/3 majority are ruled in favor of Trump or Republicans.

 

The TIME Story

That news about the cabal isn’t from some conspiracy theory source; it is from TIME Magazine, documenting what happened, as told by those who did it, because they’re so proud of what they accomplished.

The TIME piece is called “The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election,” by Molly Ball, with reporting by Leslie Dickstein, Mariah Espada and Simmone Shah.  It appeared online February 4^th, and the print version is set to appear February 15^th. As the piece describes it,

This is the inside story of the conspiracy to save the 2020 election, based on access to the group’s inner workings, never-before-seen documents and interviews with dozens of those involved from across the political spectrum.

By “save,” they mean prevent Trump from winning. And by “across the political spectrum,” they mean leftist/progressive Democrats along with some anarchists, with a few never-Trumpers added in. They  also say,

[T]he participants want the secret history of the 2020 election told, even though it sounds like a paranoid fever dream—a well-funded cabal of powerful people, ranging across industries and ideologies, working together behind the scenes to influence perceptions, change rules and laws, steer media coverage and control the flow of information.

It runs close to 7,000 words, so a review here can’t cover everything. But we can highlight what they’re so proud of. While I’ve summarized, I’ve taken the info pretty much directly from the story; I’ve highlighted my comments to differentiate them:

Overview of What They Did

·         There was an informal alliance between left-wing activists and business titans.

o   It stretched to Congress, Silicon Valley, and the nation’s statehouses.

·         They got states to change voting systems and laws [to remove rules meant to prevent fraudulent votes].

·         They helped secure hundreds of millions in public and private funding used to promote the voting changes, particularly mail-in voting.

·         They recruited armies of poll workers.

·         They got millions of people to vote by mail for the first time.

·         They successfully pressured social media companies to take a harder line against disinformation [i.e., opposing views] and used data-driven strategies to fight viral smears [i.e., opposing views, again].

Who Are They?

·         The architect of the cabal is Mike Podhorzer, senior adviser to the president of the AFL-CIO.

o   He brought together a group of liberal strategists in the early 2000s, which led to the creation of the Analyst Institute, a secretive firm that applies scientific methods to political campaigns.

o   He was also involved in the founding of the progressive data company Catalist.

·         Among the participants were the US Chamber of Commerce and the AFL-CIO; and Maurice Mitchell, national director of the Working Families Party. They also partnered with the Movement for Black Lives and the Working Families Party.

·         Other actors included The Fight Back Table, a coalition of “resistance” organizations.

o   Many leaders of the summer’s racial-justice protests were a key part of the liberal alliance.

o   They did scenario-planning around the potential for a contested election, gathering liberal activists at the local and national level into what they called the Democracy Defense Coalition.

·         On March 3^rd, Podhorzer drafted a three-page confidential memo titled “Threats to the 2020 Election.” [By threats to the election, or to democracy itself, they always mean a Trump win.] The memo laid out four categories of challenges:

o   Attacks on voters [i.e., voters who commit fraud].

o   Attacks on election administration [i.e., election officials who commit fraud].

o   Attacks on Trump’s political opponents.

o   “Efforts to reverse the results of the election.”

The Activities

·         Podhorzer began coordinating in October 2019. He began hosting weekly 2½-hour Zoom meetings in April 2020, talking about which ads were working, what messaging to use, and legal strategy, aiding communication among various leftist groups who normally didn’t communicate.

·         Taking advantage of COVID-19 as a crisis, in March the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights led 150 organizations to pressure Congress to steer COVID-19 relief to election administration, including postcards encouraging mail-in voting and other alternatives.

o   Private philanthropy joined in this COVID-19 response effort on elections. The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative chipped in $300 million.

o   Amber McReynolds, a former Denver election official who heads the nonpartisan National Vote at Home Institute, which advised 37 secretaries of state plus DC on such things as which vendors to use and where to locate drop boxes.

o   McReynolds also provided press materials used to convince the public on the importance of absentee ballots for shortening lines at polling places and preventing an election crisis [ meaning a Trump win].

·         The Voter Participation Center, instead of doing get-out-the-vote canvassing, focused on getting people to vote by mail and overcoming resistance, particularly by black communities that didn’t trust mail-in voting.

o    In August and September, it sent ballot applications to 15 million people in key states, 4.6 million of whom returned them.

·         Democrat lawyers fought pre-election lawsuits contesting law changes and rule changes. [Note: many lawsuits were dismissed for lack of standing, because damage had not yet been suffered by plaintiffs. However, later lawsuits were dismissed for laches—being filed too late for remedy, because problems should have been contested before the election.]

The Media Campaign

·         Laura Quinn, progressive operative who co-founded Catalist, piloted a nameless, secret project that tracked disinformation [i.e., opposing viewpoints] online and tried to figure out how to combat it.

o   Her solution was to pressure platforms to remove content or accounts that spread disinformation [i.e., opposing viewpoints] and by more aggressively policing it in the first place.

·         In November 2019, nine progressive leaders met with Mark Zuckerberg in his home, pressuring him to act against election-related “falsehoods.”

o   They weaponized current rules, expanding beyond actual crimes, such as inciting violence, to include the “dangers” of “false” ideas [i.e., opposing viewpoints, again].

o   Among those present was Vanita Gupta, president and CEO of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, who also pressured Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and others.

·         They had a media message campaign to convince voters:

o   That mail-in voting wasn’t susceptible to fraud.

o   That failure to finish the count on election night was to be expected.

o   The Voting Rights Lab and IntoAction created state-specific memes and graphics, spread by email, text, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok, urging that every vote be counted [they mean every vote, not merely every legal vote]. Together, they were viewed more than 1 billion times.

o   By late October over 70% of Americans did not expect to get election results on election night.

Hair-Trigger Timed Riots

·         Activists prepared to reprise the summer’s demonstrations if Trump claimed to win the election.

o   This included 150 liberal groups: the Women’s March, the Sierra Club, Color of Change, Democrats.com, the Democratic Socialists of America, all joined the “Protect the Results” coalition.

o   The group’s now defunct website had a map listing 400 planned postelection demonstrations, to be activated via text message as early as November 4^th. [I highlighted this, because it shows their control over mob violence, which they intended to launch as needed. Meanwhile, they’re impeaching Trump for violence at the capitol that he did not cause.]

o   The summer’s racial-justice protests had sent a signal to business owners about the potential for economy-disrupting civil disorder, which led to the US Chamber of Commerce’s connection about a week before the election. [Notice the similarity to mafia protectionist racketeers: “It would be sad if something happened to your place; we’ll protect you—in exchange for a little something.”]

·         Podhorzer held an 11:00 PM Zoom call election night. He knew that polls had underestimated Trump’s support but promised that election-day voting would be overcome with mail-in votes.

o   Those on the call carefully prepared timing of planned protests.

o   Protect the Results announced that it would “not be activating the entire national mobilization network today, but remains ready to activate if necessary.”

o   Twitter continued to allow upset progressives to converse about how to stop the Trump “coup” [i.e., win of the count at that early point, or challenge of the irregularities]. They wanted violence.

o   Protect the Results altered protests into a weekend of celebration. “Counter their disinfo with our confidence & get ready to celebrate.”

Post-Election Day

·         Biden victory was declared by the media on November 7^th. After that came:

o   Winning the count.

o   Winning the certification.

o   Winning the Electoral College.

o   Winning the transition.

·         At 10 PM on Election Night, poll watchers arrived at the TCF Center in Detroit. Within 45 minutes progressive reinforcements arrived and were added to email chain for updated instructions.

o   Reinforcements included racial-justice activists from Detroit Will Breathe and Fems for Dems, working alongside local elected officials.

o   The media strategy messaged “the people’s right to decide, demanding their voices be heard and calling attention to the racial implications of disenfranchising Black Detroiters.”

·         When President Trump invited GOP state house leaders to the White House to talk, Protect Democracy’s local contacts researched pressure points to keep the lawmakers’ from being persuaded to act on fraud and irregularities.

o   Activists scanned flight schedules and flocked to the airports on both ends of Michigan lawmaker Shirkey’s journey to DC. Michigan was key to preventing other states from failing to certify questioned election results.

o   A street artist projected the state lawmakers’ images onto the outside of the Trump Hotel building on Pennsylvania Avenue, along with the words “THE WORLD IS WATCHING.”

o   Activists flooded the livestream of the canvassing board meeting, using the Twitter hashtag #AllEyesOnMI.

·         According to the TIME story, all progressive activists were told to scrupulously stand down on January 6^th. That meant any mayhem would be blamed on Trump supporters.

o   Business leaders denounced the Jan. 6^th attack and vilified the lawmakers who refused to certify Biden’s victory.

And Now

·         Podhorzer and his allies are still holding their Zoom strategy sessions, gauging voters’ views and developing new messages. Media and social media censorship continue.

·         Trump is in Florida, about to face his second impeachment trial, deplatformed from his Twitter and Facebook accounts.

The piece ends with this:

Democracy won in the end. The will of the people prevailed. But it’s crazy, in retrospect, that this is what it took to put on an election in the United States of America.

The “will of the people” does not mean what you think it means; it means the will of these people. And this is where we’d better define terms, in order to translate.

Democracy, at the time Tocqueville wrote Democracy in America, in the 1820s, wasn’t referring to a form of government, but to an egalitarianism—no elite ruling over the plebians. Anyone was equal to anyone else, and was just as entitled to rise to the top of his business or other sector of influence.

When these people refer to democracy today, it is clearly not that; they mean forcing the plebians (us deplorables) to submit to the ruling elites in government, media, academia, and business.

We know it isn’t even rule by the majority, which they claim they favor, because they want to ensure than only the elites’ choices are made, regardless of the voting will of the people. But they do put a fair amount of effort into persuading the plebians to go along with the elites’ choices—by preventing any opposing viewpoints from getting through.

What they claim to have done was save America from “an autocratically inclined President,” ironically failing to see the fascistic, totalitarian thought control and corruption they use to do it. Also ironically failing to notice that Trump’s actions throughout his four years were decidedly not autocratic or authoritarian. But it helps their narrative to paint him as Hitler, without letting little things like facts get in the way.

They claim their efforts were “dedicated not to winning the vote but to ensuring it would be free and fair, credible and uncorrupted.” But their admissions actually show that they were about “winning the vote” at all costs, particularly at the cost of free and fair elections—and at the cost of trust in the election process going forward. Ironically, they blame Trump for the lack of trust they could have solved simply by being trustworthy.

Joshua Philipp, on his January 7^th Crossroads episode, talked about this weird story: 

You have conspiracy here. And what do you call it when groups working together for more than a year in a conspiracy to change the outcome of an election, have been found to have coordinated on it—again, what do you call that? That’s a coup. That’s sedition. It’s what they’re accusing Trump of doing right now.

Something about a cabal, a secret conspiracy, a secret pact, and totalitarian censorship just doesn’t give off the “credible and uncorrupted” vibe they say it does. They are so out of touch that they think their collusion admission is noble.

Rather, it corroborates what Trump voters already knew, but non-cabal-participating Biden voters did not. Maybe you should tell them.

Here are a couple of good legal discussions of this TIME story:

·         “Time Magazine Releases Information About the Secret 2020 Election Shadow Campaign” Robert H. Gruler, Feb. 5, 2021. 

·         “The Times Elections Exposé is STUNNING” Viva Frei Vlawg, Feb. 6, 2021. 

 

Absolute Proof

Already I’m writing too long. I hate when that happens. One of the big news stories of the week was the excellent documentary put out by Mike Lindell, called Absolute Proof. It is a little under two hours.

title screenshot of Absolute Proof

It has been banned from YouTube and Vimeo, but not before getting 10 million views. And it continues to spread better than any previous collection of voter fraud evidence. You should be able to get it directly at MichaelJLindell.com.

The first portion goes over the more-or-less traditional election fraud, which is mainly what the cabal of the TIME story was involved in. There’s plenty of that. The following screenshots show the known fraudulent votes totals of those types in the six battleground states. Notice that each state far exceeds the margin of victory.

Those of us who have been paying attention have seen this evidence. It has also been catalogued by the Navarro Report, the Epoch Times documentary, and various other places we’ve referred to before. In normal times, this evidence would have prevented those six states from certifying until the questions could be cleared up and the actual outcome known, if it is possible to know. But these are not normal times.

Later in the documentary there is additional proof, of the more technical type of voter fraud. The other sources have mentioned this as well. People keep claiming it’s a conspiracy theory, and that, “you haven’t provided a shred of evidence.”

OK. Challenge taken. Lindell brings in the experts to lay it out.

They demonstrate that they have every instance of information exchange catalogued. They can show what IP address (what individual computer) made what contact to an election system, even down to the precinct level, what changes were made, whether they were attempted only or whether they succeeded in making the change.

And they have mapped each individual incidence of that interference on a global map. An outsized amount comes from China, but there are plenty of other locations involved.

They explain pretty carefully how they got the information, and how they know it is accurate. It would very likely hold up in a court of law.

Mike Lindell says that, now that the evidence is out—where he believes even the nine Supreme Court Justices have by now had a chance to view it, as well as the general public—the obvious need to clean up our elections is something we can unite behind. (I think he's overly optimistic, but I like that in a person.)

He doesn’t call for Biden’s ouster and Trump’s reinstatement. He is simply about putting the evidence out there, in the hands of the public.

Of course, then he’s censored. I suggest you view it directly from his site. And download it as a historical record.

 

The Court Cases

I was listening to a Jordan Peterson podcast of his conversation with Douglas Murray, recorded in January. During their far-ranging discussion, they talked about the US Presidential election, from their Canadian and British outside views. Jordan Peterson said that the biggest evidence that Trump was wrong about election fraud was the mass of cases thrown out of court. So many of them—all thrown out. That's what the media has told them.

If you’re paying attention here in America, you might know that those cases that were thrown out were on lack of standing or some other technicality—without looking at the evidence. That has been frustrating. But, failure to look at evidence does not equal lack of evidence. (See Lindell’s movie, referenced above.)

Justice tends to be slow and not always satisfying. But there has been some progress.

Citizen journalist John Droz, Jr., described as a physicist and environmental advocate from North Carolina, has been tracking the 2020 Presidential Election lawsuits, on his publicly available spreadsheet, updated as of February 6^th. 

According to an Epoch Times story, 

Of the 81 cases, 11 were withdrawn or consolidated and 23 were dismissed for lack of standing or on other grounds. Both the cohort of 11 and of 23 should not be considered “wins or losses for either side,” Droz says, because they “have nothing to do with the merits of the case.”

This leaves 47 cases. Of those 47, 22 have been finalized after the court heard arguments, considered evidence, and then issued a ruling.

Of those 22, Trump or Republicans won 15 and lost 7, according to the analysis.

This leaves 25 lawsuits that have yet to be finally disposed of.

Winning two out of three isn’t a bad start. I’m guessing that’s not what you’re hearing in the uncensored news.

Included in those 25 remaining lawsuits, the Supreme Court on Friday announced they had scheduled hearing several of the highest profile cases on February 19^th. These are Sidney Powell’s Michigan case, Linn Wood’s Georgia case, and Rep. Mike Kelly’s Pennsylvania case,  plus a couple of others. (Read this Epoch Times piece on them.) 

These specific cases all allege illegalities that affected the outcome, such as expanding mail-in ballots against state law, failure to provide adequate security measures around mail ballots, issues with machine vote tabulation, and denial of meaningful access to poll watchers. I don’t know whether the “machine vote tabulation” part will include the evidence shown in Mike Lindell’s video. Regardless, the Court is not likely to actually hear the cases before October 2021. That means not until the next session, which ends around June 2022.

 

Conclusions

So, what have we learned today? Things we knew, but now with more certainty:

·         Truth comes out.

·         Justice is not swift.

·         If the enemies of the Constitution are accusing our side of something, they’re doing it.

What Is That Stuff Piling Up? Is That Evidence?

Like that tree in the forest question, is it evidence if nobody sees it? Well, it’s piling up, whatever it is.

We are beyond knowing that election fraud happened. It did. It happened in huge numbers, in multiple ways, in numbers that far surpass the difference in the outcome. There is so much information coming out to show this that it’s hard for those “fact checkers” to adequately plug the holes in their information dyke.

The only questions left are,

·         Will the facts make it through the courts in time, if that is where the truth must come out?

·         Will judges/justices at the various levels be brave enough to rule based on law rather than politics or fear?

·         Will the American people see the evidence so that they understand clearly what has been taking place and therefore rejoice that we dodged a fatal bullet? Or will they believe the lying media when it once again twists things so that Trump is called the usurper, rather than the actual usurpers? And how will the people respond to this turn of events?

·         Will the perpetrators be held accountable for the treason and other crimes they have committed?

·         Will we be able to cleanse America from the “Deep State” swamp, and thus lay out once again the path to freedom for the rest of the world?

If you’ve been tuned out from news for the holiday weekend, or have had news media that isn’t telling you these things, there are some developments you might want to get up to speed on.

 

Lawsuit in Georgia

Last Wednesday, attorney Sidney Powell filed a case in Georgia. At that point there were some thirty allegations of serious voter fraud in that state. In a Friday interview, recently pardoned Michael Flynn mentioned that there were a couple of amendments to that suit filed on Friday, so there may now be 32. You can read the original filing here.  The filing is 104 pages. The numbered summary list is provided by Petr Svab in an Epoch Times piece. [You can also hear the summary, with commentary, from Joshua Philip on his Crossroads video from Nov. 26.]

Number 1 allegation on the list is this:

The software used by the Dominion machines was accessed by agents of malicious actors, such as China and Iran, “in order to monitor and manipulate elections,” including the 2020 election. The allegation is based on a redacted declaration of a former electronic intelligence analyst under 305th Military Intelligence.

“By using servers and employees connected with rogue actors and hostile foreign influences combined with numerous easily discoverable leaked credentials, Dominion neglectfully allowed foreign adversaries to access data and intentionally provided access to their infrastructure in order to monitor and manipulate elections, including the most recent one in 2020,” the suit says.

In the same interview with General Flynn on Friday, retired Lt. General Thomas McInerney discussed this in more detail. He talked about the flashing red light that went up early morning November 4^th, when five swing states almost simultaneously stopped counting and said they’d come back in the morning. Any such pause in counting is practically unprecedented. For multiple states to do it at the same time—and all of them swing states in which President Trump was doing surprisingly well—is extremely suspect. Then, when they came back online hours later, each of these states had a spike in Biden votes. That is, they had a large number of suddenly reported votes, all for Biden and none for Trump or any other candidate.

Each of these states had a spike of a different size. But a close look showed that each of them increased by an identical percentage. McInerney said,

This is a mathematical impossibility that this could have happened, and it means an algorithm was used. And this algorithm was designed to stay within the bounds, and when the assembled numbers were put together, it wouldn’t be obvious that these numbers of votes were inserted. And so, this is a huge, flashing red light.

That’s why there needed to be investigations. Oddly,

We haven’t seen any footprints of the DOJ, of the FBI, nor the CIA on the friendly side. They’ve been on the Deep State side.

That means there needed to be an investigation done by someone not in on what Generals Flynn and McInerney agree is a coup d’état. He does, by the way, say the trail leads all the way up to Pelosi, Schiff, and Schumer, and on up to Biden and Obama. And he’s certain the lower lackeys, who will not want to be tried for treason, will talk.

You’ll recall that Sidney Powell used the phrase “release the Kraken” a couple of weeks ago. General McInerney identified the meaning of that. Kraken is the nickname of the 305^th Military Intelligence Battalion. This is the group that carried out the seizure of the server farm in Frankfurt, Germany, through which vote counts were routed.

What was news to me was that the server farm was not a Dominion company site; it was a CIA site. When the moderator, Brannon Howse, heard him say that, he asked him to repeat it, just to be clear:

Howse: But you are saying that was a CIA facility, and that where the server was taken from by these Special Forces was a CIA facility in Germany?

McInerney: That’s correct.

When asked if there were casualties, the general couldn’t verify, but he said the early report he got was that American soldiers were killed in that operation.

You might recall that, a couple of weeks ago, the President replaced the Secretary of Defense with Chris Miller. As Acting Secretary of Defense, Miller called for all Special Operations to report directly to him, rather than their previous reporting channels. The President needs people he can trust, and needs a way to circumvent the traitors. He trusts Miller, and he trusts the 305^th.

Back to the lawsuit. Several of the numbered allegations refer to evidence backing up the Hammer and Scorecard/Dominion digital fraud.

Let’s add another type of allegation in the Georgia lawsuit. There’s a researcher, and former Trump campaign member, Matt Braynard, who took on the mail-in ballot discrepancies. He said his purpose was to provide evidence that was accessible, and repeatable, without having to be a tech expert. For him and his team, it was a matter of contacting people who had been sent a mail-in ballot but had not returned one, and asking them a few questions.

He goes through his report in a video (white paper to follow), and also in an interview with Epoch Times reporter Joshua Philip. Here are some of his findings:

·         Between 31,559 and 38,886 absentee ballots were returned by Republican voters, but were not counted.

·         Between 16,938 and 22,771 Republican voters received absentee ballots they didn’t request, indicating unlawful requests, according to Georgia law.

·         20,311 absentee or early voters in Georgia voted even though they had moved out of state, in violation of state law.

Braynard found similar anomalies in other states, and more investigations are underway.

The difference in votes, I believe updated to today according to EveryLegalVote.com, is 14,122.   In other words, each piece of Braynard’s research shows a decisive discrepancy. President Trump won Georgia—before you get into the digital fraud or even the illegal failures to verify ballot signatures.

 

Hearing in Pennsylvania

Last Wednesday the Pennsylvania state legislature held a hearing on the voter fraud in that state. Rudy Giuliani and the President’s legal team brought forth many of the witnesses who had provided affidavits. Some were eyewitnesses of actual fraud taking place in front of them. Some were experts in technical fields, who could show the evidence of count manipulation.

One of the technical reports came from Retired Col. Phil Waldren, a former combat officer with a background in Army information and electronic warfare. He talked about the speed of the machines to count, and the impossibility of some batches. He called them “spike anomalies.” Here’s the exchange about those spikes:

Waldren: At the very beginning of the chart, where there’s a circle that says “On Election Day,” what that indicates is there’s a spike in loaded votes. 337,000-plus-or-minus-some votes that were added in there in one big batch. So that was an anomaly in the reporting. Normally you would expect to see a smooth curve going up, not any big spikes. That’s kind of what Greg was talking about, the anomalies of loading and uploading those votes. So that big spike that occurs there is a prime indicator of fraudulent voting.

Giuliani: And that’s [a total of] 604,000 votes in 90 minutes, is that right?

Waldren: Correct, this is [shows chart] 337,000 votes in that period of time.

Giuliani: And when you look at this entire curve, with all these spikes, can you calculate how much of a vote that accounted for for Biden, and how much for Trump?

Waldren: Close to 600,000. I think our figures were about 570-some-odd-thousand that all those spikes represent over time.

Giuliani: For Biden?

Waldren: Correct.

Giuliani: And how much for Trump?

Waldren: I think it was a little over 3,200.

So, spikes that came in with numbers too high to have been counted in the time period went 99.4% for Biden. Declaring those vote spikes to be fraudulent would mean President Trump was the clear winner in Pennsylvania, even without taking into account all the other voter fraud. Trump won Pennsylvania.

Another impossibility was that there were around 1.8 million mail-in ballots sent out by the state, but around 2.5 million returned. Again, if you remove the impossible ~700,000 votes—because they weren’t mailed out—from Biden votes, Trump wins the state without even considering the other forms of voter fraud that happened there. Trump won Pennsylvania.

Sen. Doug Mastriano organized the Pennsylvania hearing
screenshot from here

The legislator who arranged it, Sen. Doug Mastriano—I believe his purpose was to demonstrate to the world the evidence they are using to declare that the Pennsylvania vote count cannot be certified, and therefore the state legislature must do it’s duty and choose other electors. He, together with other legislators, announced on Friday that they will put forth a resolution to dispute the election results, saying, 

documented irregularities and improprieties associated with mail-in balloting, pre-canvassing, and canvassing have undermined our elector process and as a result we cannot accept certification of the results in statewide races.

Mastriano was in the process of giving a final speech at the end of the near-four-hour hearing when Twitter took down his account—didn’t suspend it, didn’t block a particular post, but removed him from the platform entirely. The hearing is still available on YouTube, however. 

 

Hearing in Arizona

A similar hearing before the Arizona legislature took place today. It was around ten hours long. I haven’t heard it all yet. When I tuned in, they were almost through with testimony, so I heard the summaries.

One of the issues I hadn’t heard about was an allegation that ballots had been flown into the state—illegal votes, of course. This detail isn’t proven yet, but they’re asking for a federal investigation.

In his summary, Rudy Giuliani said that he hadn’t realized how bad things were in Arizona until he heard the testimony today. Presumably, he had read the affidavits. But there were additional details today, brought out by questioning the witnesses. There were also the mathematical proofs that have been shown in other states.

In her summary, Jenna Ellis quoted Article 2, Section 1, of the Constitution, where the state legislators are tasked with appointing electors for their state. And she defined for them “reasonable doubt,” which is the standard they should apply to the evidence of voter fraud. Has the testimony today given them reason to doubt the supposed outcome of the election? Another final word, from a legislator, said that numbers don’t lie, and he doesn’t know how anybody could certify this election.

If the courts had done their duty and allowed the evidence to be presented, these state legislature hearings would not be necessary. Unfortunately, the courts have several things that allow them to skirt their responsibility. One is the doctrine of standing, which wasn’t even a thing until less than a century ago; it is that someone has to show they have been harmed before they can file suit.

So, if you can see that the way the state is doing mail-in ballots is wrong, you can’t sue until your vote has been disenfranchised by their actions. If you’re a candidate and you see the damage coming, you can’t file until you’ve received damage.

But then, if you file suit after the act, you’re told you should have filed before it was a done deal. It’s the Laches rule. If a plaintiff seeks a form of relief that it is too late to receive, it’s too late. (There’s a good discussion of this catch-22 on the Viva and Barnes discussion Sunday night.)

But if you file suit before, during, and after the action, you’re thrown out for filing too many suits.

The AZ Chairman, who led the hearing, Mark Finchem, said they had seen the tsunami coming; they had prepared their legal briefs. Still, they were unable to make headway without the President’s legal team and what they’re doing.

When you hear the lawsuits are being thrown out, it’s not because they lack evidence; the courts have yet to hear the evidence. They’re using technicalities that put the plaintiffs in a no-win situation. However, each dismissal puts the suits into appellate courts, and eventually to the Supreme Court. And that needs to be done quickly. One good moment last week was the 11^th Circuit ordering the court in Georgia to be quick about it.

We can only hope that, once the evidence is actually shown on final appeal, in the Supreme Court, the justices will rule justly.

So the hearings for now are allowing the evidence to be brought before the public—unfiltered by the media. And they put those state legislators in the position where they are encouraged to act according to their constitutional duty. They can’t certify a clearly fraudulent election. In PA and AZ, at least, it looks like the legislatures are ready to act on the evidence brought before them—which is much less than what was available in the court cases, and is far more than enough to clarify who really won the election.

 

It’s War

Remember when Obama said he was about to fundamentally transform America? Did you ask what he meant? From what to what? Because it now looks like he was being honest (if not actually forthright); he intended to do away with our constitutional republic and replace it with Marxist socialism. If Hillary had been elected in 2016, that would be a fait accompli. But they didn’t give up. They've been attempting to override that election since it happened. We're just seeing the continuation.

Several speakers in hearings mentioned that, yes, this is about President Trump’s presidency, but it’s about more than that. It’s about saving this country as a Constitutional Republic. We can’t sit back and “be nice,” and let this egregious injustice stand. We don’t have our country anymore, if we shrug off such things.

Chairman Finchem ended the Arizona hearing by saying,

I hope that, out of this—besides calling for a special session, which I am doing right now—I hope even more than a special session, we see a series of grand juries convened. There is so much criminal behavior that has gone on in this state, and in states around the country, I believe that it is time for our attorney general and the US attorney to start perp walking some people.

I am glad that you are fired up, but, ladies and gentlemen, this is a skirmish. You ain’t seen nothin’ yet. Because when Satan wants to extinguish a light, he will stop at nothing. So be on your guard. Put on the full armor of God. And be prepared to fight.

There’s no call to take up arms. There’s certainly no call to take to the streets with torches and pitchforks. It’s the other side that does that.

But we cannot succumb to the insidious call to “unite,” “come together,” and “all just get along” with people who are at war with us and our country. What we need to do is to speak the truth, stand up to the hate and persecution, and use the Constitution, which is on our side.

An American Thinker piece by J. Robert Smith describes what we’re going through as a war.

This war is much more than disputes over fraudulent elections, though that would be cause enough. The Democratic Party is a means. The new war has been imagined, developed, and phased in over decades by the left. It’s unconventional, asymmetric, and cunning. It’s insidious, and has been about stealth and infiltration more so than outright confrontation—until this year, when state shutdowns have been imposed to test the limits of tyranny… to gauge the level of tolerance of unconstitutional centralized rule over a free people. Targeted violence has been employed in cities to engender angst, a sense of helplessness, and, consequently, to demoralize us.    

The left’s warfare—underwritten by coastal plutocrats, chiefly—is comprehensive.  The target now are our politics.  The aim is to capture our national and state governments.  Dominating the means of government nearly ensures its ends, which have nothing to do with our freedoms.  Capturing governments is an endpoint—the crowning achievement in the left’s long march.

What would follow leftist consolidation of power in the United States is the hoped-for realization of the leftist-globalist dream of a “Great Reset,” whereby the United States is subsumed in some oligarchic-Marxist transnational utopia.  As the history of the last 100 years teaches us abundantly, the left’s quests for utopia resolve in hells.  The body count reaches into the millions, thanks to leftist slaughter. 

But he ends on this hopeful note:

Consider this: Perhaps the Good Lord, in His infinite wisdom, is allowing the threat of tyranny to arise on these shores precisely because we’ve been chosen to vanquish it.

I think that may be what we’re witnessing—if we rise to the moment.
